Isn't it based of the book? The words are almost word for word the same for little Voldemort. So really, J. K. Rowling wrote it

Well, no, not really. The screenwriter Steve Kloves will obviously use some dialogue, but just because he adapting from the book doesn't mean it will be word for word. Quite the opposite infact. Though J.K Rowling does have a very close relationship with the film makers and will approve the script before its actually finalised, so if there is something in there she doesn't like she can cross it out. But really it would be down to Steve Kloves, the screenwriter.

The screenwriter decides what is going to be in the film and of course will use dialogue from the book, but has to condense the novel into 120 pages of A4.

Or in Harry Potters case about 150 sometimes (if of course we are going on the traditional format that one page = approx one minute).

The boy is the young Voldemort when he's in the orphanage.

Yes I do know thanks. I was actually saying that Hero Fiennes-Tiffen who plays Young Voldemort is the nephew of Ralph Fiennes who plays Big Scary Voldemore !

surely its better to use someone related to the actual voldemort so it looks similar to him... unless you didnt know but im guessing you did.

Well, not really. Hundreds of films get by with on-screen relationships when the actors aren't related to each other. Take Mamma Mia for example - Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfriend have no relation to each other, but in the film they are mother and daughter. They look like each other enough for it to pass. I would rather have someone who can actually act and look similar enough rather than just being cast because their uncle is the older version of them. Innit.

Rowling said she would only allow film adaptations if she had complete creative control.

Rowling said she would only allow film adaptations if she had complete creative control.

That is untrue. She has taken a very active role and is very interested, and actually enjoys the films unlike most authors who live to see adaptions of their works. J.K. Rowling let's everyone get on with everything. She only had two conditions - one being that the cast remained British, and the second that she could go through the script to help make sure its accurate and in compliance with future books (which doesn't really need to happen anymore, but Im sure she will anyway). Saying she has complete creative control would suggest that she has final say over sets, designs, costumes, cast, crew etc etc.

I can't wait for this one, I might re-read the book to get the jist of stuff again, I have to admit, it looks pretty cool though. !

[JackBuddy]

so... is this the last one? I only watch the films.

[Inseriousity.]

I didn't really like the trailer but I still can't wait.

I liked young Voldemort. I did expect him to sound different but apart from that, he's great. Got that 'voldy' look in his eye. Voldemort isn't tough in a physical way imo so it doesn't matter that the kid isn't. He has that evil look that makes him scary and makes him powerful and tough.
